Let's face it: Soulslike games are very hard. But fortunately, we can at least die together in Elden Ring Seamless Co-Op, as we've got how to get the mod explained.

Previously, the mod went kaput, owing to updates and a great big pesky DLC.

This has since been fixed, and we The Tarnished(s) can hop back in and get utterly demolished by Mohg once again.

If you're worried about being at the receiving end of a ban hammer, fret not, for the mod has its own launcher that keeps it separate from the main game.

As such, you just need to worry about being at the receiving end of your friends' attacks (if you turn friendly fire on, that is).

But you're no doubt desperate to get in and start playing, so we won't keep you a moment longer!

What is the Elden Ring Seamless Co-Op? Mod explained

The Seamless Co-Op mod allows friends to play through the entirety of Elden Ring without any of the usual restrictions.

For example, when a player dies, the session won't be terminated - rather, they'll respawn at the last bonfire in the same world as their companion. You'll also stay together after boss fights.

This way, you can play through the whole game together.

There are also no restrictions to the multiplayer zones, and all waypoints are synchronised.

Is Elden Ring Seamless Co-Op working again?

Yes, the Elden Ring Seamless Co-Op mod is back and working once more.

It was broken due to updates and the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, but creator LukeYui has worked their magic and brought it back to life.

Though having some friends help out will no doubt make enemies a little easier, it will still be a punishingly difficult affair, so don't get too lazy or you will find yourself at the last bonfire pronto.
